Dave and Rich Lederer, of Baseball Analysts, take a joint look at the Mets/Dodgers National League Division Series.

All your questions have been answered.

On a day when baseball set a new attendance record, rumors of performance-enhancing drugs emerged once again. In real baseball news, Houston and St. Louis remain the only postseason question mark heading into the last day of the season.

The postseason slots came into better focus yesterday as the Cardinals and Dodgers won while the Astros and Phillies lost. And a New York team has lost an ace pitcher for part of the postseason. Sound familiar?

Rookie James Loney had 9 RBI’s yesterday for the Dodgers, who continue to pull away from the Phillies. The Cardinals aren’t pulling away from anyone, and the Twins are in first place.

Dave picks the best fielders of the year, just because he likes a good argument.

The American League’s postseason participants are set, but the National League West, Central and Wildcard slots are still in play.

Nomar Garciaparra hit his second game-winning home run in the past week; this one, a grand slam in the ninth.

Trevor Hoffman tied Lee Smith’s all-time saves record, Barry Bonds broke the NL home run record and Alfonso Soriano tied a record of sorts.

Bonds drove in six runs and tied the NL home run record, Chris Young almost pitched a no-hitter and Richie Sexson unloaded a blast against the White Sox. And Philadelphia remains a half-game behind Los Angeles in the NL Wildcard race.
